I have decided that if I need to get anything done anymore I can't eat beforehand. Eating causes pain, and pain is bad. So if I want to drive anywhere, I can't eat. This morning I drove my son to school, so I didn't eat anything beforehand. He hates when a parent goes in with him, and if I can, I just drop him off at the front door, but I had to use the bathroom, so I parked and went in with him. Not that he spent more than a second to say "bye mom!" before running off with his friends. After dropping him off at school, I went to Target to go grocery shopping. I had to stop at the bathroom there, too. There were several people in the bathroom when I got there. Fortunately the hand dryer is very loud, so no one heard my noisy poop. The smell I can't do anything about, though.
I got home, unloaded the groceries, and tried to nap, but was unsuccessful at it. Finally, around noon, I got too hungry, and had a vegetarian chicken patty sandwich. I paid for it, though. I am having very narrow BMs when they aren't liquid, which usually indicates a stricture, but the CT didn't show one, or if it did, no one told me about it.
My appointment at the Mayo Clinic is for next Wednesday. So I called my insurance company to try to get an update on whether the referral had been approved, and they said they still didn't have any information from my doctor. After much stress and several phone calls, I think the insurance company has all the information they need. Now to hopefully have a decision in less than a week.
